Corephallism/Gnaw Their Tongues – Split 10″EP

Corephallism/Gnaw Their Tongues – Split 10″EP
Lascivious Aesthetics
This is easily one of my favorite releases of 2012 and it’s great to know that before the halfway point. Two underrated acts team up for this obsessive industrial slab of vinyl to form a formidable sonic force. Their respective styles differing so much yet at the same time complimenting each other gracefully. Right off the bat I noticed the absolutely gorgeous artwork with sparse yet well placed text which helps make this release an instant classic.
Corephallism is up first with two tracks of …

Hive Mind (Los Angeles, CA)
Hive Mind – Return to Steam
Hive Mind is a brutal patch of analog smog birthed in the bleak landscape of Detroit, Michigan and currently casting shadows in Los Angeles, California.

Sky Burial – Dream Decimator C60

Sky Burial – Dream Decimator C60
Cathartic Process
Clocking in at 60 minutes Dream Decimator is an epic work with minimal packaging – a very deceiving release indeed. This is perhaps my favorite Sky Burial material to date with very detailed ambient/industrial sound collage and drone. This is where the elements that Page has been working with for years have finally come together perfectly.
I can only guess that this tape consists of one long track because there is no tracklisting mentioned in the insert. One thing that really catches my attention here …

Hailing from Montreal, GRKZGL (also known by some as Alexandre Scarfone) has been genre-dodging since 2003, progressing from his digital gurgles and cosmic drones to his current excursions in noise.
